- Ask if your Pennsylvania employer participates in the PA-EITC (Educational Improvement Tax Credit Program), and would consider a win-win gift to the EITC-approved education programs at People’s Light. More information here.
- Work for a local business? Our Corporate Circle program has great networking and entertainment perks.
Gifts in Memory or in Honor of a loved one, colleague, or friend
